I go all SCSI for ease of installation and stability.

At the office, we have 2 Compro 7502's (4x read, 2x write I think),
and they work great.  If I recall correctly, they use Panasonic innards.
We bought that brand because they were one of the first to supply free
hardware to the author of cdrecord.

At home, I have a newer Yamaha 6416S (6x4x16) which also works with
no problems.  It does CDR and CDRW's (though I don't know what the
state of CDRW support is in FreeBSD).

Check out these links for some relevant info:
